Cocktail of the week
Amaretto Sour
Amaretto's marzipan sweetness needs sharp lemon juice to keep it from tipping into dessert territory, and a shaken egg white gives the whole thing a soft, silky head. It's a low-proof sour that rewards a hard shake — the texture is half the point.
What to expect: A sour liqueur led drink, medium to make and about 5 minutes from start to glass.
Prefer something else? Whiskey Sour, Sidecar, Daiquiri
